An outrage o.. chic a,zo.

Recently in Chicago great the
atrical outrage was perpetrated on
an audience. In a spectacular play
the following was announced as one
of the scenes:
Queen Regent of Womanly
LONELINESS in the Rosebud Garden
of Girls and her Fascinating Bevy
of Blondes
OF course the Chicago men who
purchased tickets to the above ex-
peeted to see a collection of lovely
lImbed women in gauze and fault
lessly fitting tights. Instead of
this they were taken considerably
ablck to find only a collection of
handsome women attired in long
dresses, with all the proprieties
strictly regarded
After the bald-headed men IL the
front row had recovered breath a.
howl of righteous indignation went
up, and the audience vented its
displeasure by hurting oranges and
stale bananas on the stage. After
demolishing few dozen seas the
crowd dispersed, denouneing the
outrage in the loudest terms. 1t
would seem as If under the circum-
stances the patrons Of the theater
had good show to recover Dam
ages for this sort Of treatment.

The Board on Derlk.

The new States Prison Board
have determined to assert its
rights and in future to see that the
States Prison is run on strict buei
ness principles. The Attorney
General has decided that the Board
has the right to appoiut the War
den of the Penitentiary, aud ac
cordingly, yesterday afternoon, at a
regular meeting, appointed Frank
Mccullough as the Warden, and
also served HIM with notice that
all future appointments of sub
ordinates should be subject to the
approval of the Board.

stock Gambling and Lottery

The Daily Report says. 1t is the
| opinion Of Speaker A. j. Mcdonnell
of Nevada that the proposed
amendment of the Constitution so
as to legalize State Lottery, will
be adopted when submitted to the
people at the next general election.
The Report continues: We
fancy the mining magnates will
recognize the importance of arous
ing public interest 10, and directing
public sentiment against, the pro-
posed lottery.
The last paragraph Is something
peculiarly refreshing. The Report
is the organ of the stock dealers,
and at once flies to the rescue of its
clients. OF course the stock gam
blers of the State, and the faro gam
blers are against lottery. They
strenuously object to any form OF
gambling that they cannot handle
their way. When the constitution
al amendment is submitted to the
people, the stockmen. not the legiti-
mate mining developers, but the
stock gamblers, will fight it tooth
and nail, for fear that some Of the
money that drifts into the lottery,
might be taken from the pile which
they propose to accumulate each
year. The fact that the stock pa
pers of the Bay begin to fight the
Lottery is a significant straw
The stock gamblers of this Coast
have this State by the throat and will
keep it down as long as there is a
dollar to be squeezed ont of its in
experience and credulity.

Fishing at the Capitol.

For several days past the fishing
at the Capitol building has been
first class. A lot of carp and trout
from the reservoir on the mountain
side, have managed to get in the
pipes and il has necessitated the
services of plumber to get the
fish out Attention was first called
to the fish in the States Printing
Office. One of the job presses is
run by a water moter, which be-
came clogged.
Superintendent Harlow took the
wheel apart, and half dozen good
sized trout fell out. In the Secre-
tary of States Office when the pipes
were taken apart some fat carp fell
out. So far, however, the Governor
has had better luck fishing than
anybody, having secured a string
of ten. Treasurer Tufy watches
his water works all dav, and hash t
got a bite; Tam der luck" Hal
lock is doing fairly, and Oliver
Roberts, the night Waterman, does
pretty well after 9 o'clock.

The islanders OF Tristan d'Acunha,
although isolated in the South Allan
tic, have received the distinction oil
having Blue Book devoted TO them
and their concerns. According 70 the
latest report there are now on the isl.
and 10 families, comprising 81 souls,
namely: Aged men, 3; aged women,
8; men 20 years of age and over, IL;
boys from Ia to 90 years OF age, g.;
married women, 3; widows with large
families), 16; girls over Ia years Of
age, 90; children under Ia years oi
age, 80 of both sexes; total, OF.
Some time since they sustained a
disastrous loss, the whaleboat in
which fifteen of their men put to sea
to intercept passing vessel being lost
and every one being drowned. Reduc-
ed in number in this way, they have
been put to great straits. A plague oi
rats has also invaded the island and
done great destruction to the potato
crop. The vermin landed from q ship
wrecked vessel which came ashore on
the coast. The Government has con-
sidered the question Of conveying the
islanders to the Cape of Australia,
but in the meantime they have con-
tented themselves with instructing d
ship Of war to pay an annual visit to
the island.
The islanders have a rule after the
republican fashion, but they regard
themselves as under the English
Crown. Peter w. Green, who was
shipwreeked on the island about fifty
years ago, is at the head of the COM

noticed the physical appearance of
some forty or fifty fashionable women

of that number did not see d perfect
shaped figure. Those who were young
doubtless inherited their physical de-
ficiencies, and were assisting to further
mar their unnatural proportions by
wearing corsets. Men do not dream
that such malformation exists among
the Women, but picture them from the
Elusive idea conveyed by seeing them
dressed in the extreme Of fashion.
Some of these women had small waists,
others had cramped, pinched feet, and

The wheat crop Of 1857 is now all in the

ditions than for several yeaya past. The ground
is noister and IL generally tetter ennitiau and
there is an increased acreage, 90 that the out.
look for large crop is the very best The
acreage in Minnesota is probably $3.50, ,0oG
acres. an increase Of per cent over last year.
The smallness Of this increase is due TO the
summer following that will DO done this sum-
nler and partly to low prices and the fact that
many farmers are devoting their attention to
stock raising. In Dakota the acreage will be
3,O75, 5,0GO-an increase Of IL per cent. Fgam
these data it is evident that with anything
like fair CHANGE tho aggregate yield OF. Min
nesota and Dakota will be between so, 900, 900
and 100000 bushels as against 72,OUO, 900
last year. These indications are gathered from
accurate reports Of correspondents in nearly
